Omission Equals Oppression

  
Heard this on O’Reilly on Advertising (CBC Radio 1):  "Omission is a form of oppression".  This is very true.  During the show, O'Reilly was speaking about the experience of African-Americans - how they were ignored by advertisers - left out of advertising - and, that this omission was, in fact, a form of oppression.  There was also a case in Uganda concerning persons with albinism which also found this theory to be true.  And, I have personal experience with this form of oppression, so for me, it rings true.
